That bike of yours is a very sweet looking machine

I got them from Motorad but at the same time as the bike and since I have purchaced 4 new bikes from them they could have been less than cost price seeing as im an arm twister when I buy new a new bike.I got the triumph race pipes and grab rail at the same time.Have spent some money getting things since then to change the look(flat bars,grips,billet indicators) and running cr race carbs also.

Youve hit the nail on the head, they have a different target market to top end quality and performance suspension units.

4 new bikes! dam man, jelous as hell!! especially of the current one

So motorad are stocking the shocks then? I found out about them through another source. Give those shocks of yours a good thrashing and keep us updated...

They have been on for 18months and 4000k.(I dont do many ks until holiday which we didnt do last xmas).They are good and got them because stock shock not good for 2 up.They have no adjustments other than spring.
If you want a performance option then ohlins.They are what I would describe as an improved item.When I do my race rear shock will be ohlins.Worth saving the extra dollars.

I had mine painted in castrol colours with some bling added.
Suspension was good and prefered it to the rsv that I owned in 2000.
Only problem is I managed to bounce my wife off the back on a speed bump at Lake Ferry and she broke her arm in a few spots just before our wedding so the bike had to say goodbye.
A guy in Auckland bought it and havent seen it since.
Castrol Collin Edwards colours with arrow carbon cans if anyone has seen it let me know.
